Fugitive started with an idea, $300, and a website in late 2015. Since then, we’ve produced 400-plus shows and sold more than 30,000 tickets in Boston’s western ’burbs. The new ownership at Sanctuary in Maynard — where we’ve been booking the majority of our events since 2020 — is now able to fulfill the role that Fugitive historically played.
Please stay tuned and continue to follow Fugitive — via our eblasts, website, and social posts — while we explore new possibilities and opportunities.
We bring a wonderfully eclectic and talented range of musicians to Boston’s western ’burbs.
We present storytelling — featuring Moth Slam winners along with local community folks — at local venues and nonprofit pop-ups.
Fugitive Comedy features some of the most accomplished comics from the Northeast and beyond.

season at-a-Glance
Fugitive Productions brings music, comedy, and storytelling to Boston’s ‘burbs. For the foreseeable future, most of our music and comedy events are scheduled at Sanctuary. It is a BIG room, with 30-foot ceilings featuring a full bar. Patrons are welcome to bring food and snacks to most events.
We continue to add events. Tickets are available a minimum of four to six weeks in advance of performance dates. Check posts for timing and ticket links. Sign up for our eblasts to receive reminders of upcoming events and check out our Facebook and Instagram pages.
